Germs!!!!!
Germs
Thanks to feralboy, I am rereading Lexicon Devil: The Fast Times and Short Life of Darby Crash and the Germs. He’s been mentioning the book over the last week or so, and I just happened to get my copy back from N__ on Sunday.
I’m absolutely enthralled by Darby Crash. Since I heard about him during my junior year of high school, I’ve held him to some sort of mythical stature. Actually, let me take that back. He is someone who I would have liked to have met in high school. Maybe get him to embrace the wicked ways of Sodom. *shrugs* He struck me as an outcast within the LA punk scene. I mean if you have Exene, Belinda, John Doe and all of the other legendary people in the same time frame, it sort of makes sense.
Why I have any loyalty to the LA punk scene, I don’t know. Especially since I wasn’t really raised punk. Sure I know and have heard of X, the Germs, the Weirdos and the other countless bands, but it was never my own. Yet I feel something for it. Like when I talk about Exene, I get appalled that someone doesn’t know who she is. Is there any explanation for this?
Occupational Hazards
I finally have a resume to my liking. I don’t think I’ve ever had one of those. I sent it out to two companies yesterday but did jackshit today. Now I’m thinking I should really put a cover letter together. Blah blah blah. Just cross your fingers, sacrifice a baby or whatever and wish me luck.
(Although I must say that it’s been pretty mellow this week. Let’s hope I’m not jinxing myself here.)
Living Hazards
I watched tv today. In my goal to watch only trashy shows when I do turn on the boob tube, I did in fact watch The Player. It’s actually more entertaining than that Amish show. I’m in shock that there is an actual player culture. I always thought it was just one of those things the media completely exaggerates.
To the heteros: does this actually happen? Is this “player” culture actually real? I know when I’m out with you, I don’t really pay attention to what’s going on. I’m trying to get as wasted as possible to deal with being in straight world.
Edit: I have a possible answer to one of the questions I have asked. I ate refried beans for dinner and am really gassy right now. Heheheheh.
